SUPPORT SERVICES SIEMENS
The Green Port Hull is a landmark moment for the Humber region, promising regeneration and the creation of many hundreds of new jobs and new skills. Siemens manufacturing plans will help create around 1,000 jobs - 550 at the blade factory in Paull and 450 at Green Port Hull with additional jobs during the construction phase and indirectly in the supply chain.

HULL CITY COUNCIL DREAM TEAM
Hull City Council and its partners have worked tirelessly to ensure the city is ready to seize the opportunities that are coming its way since January 2011 when Siemens and ABP named Hull’s Alexandra Dock as their preferred location for a wind turbine production facility.
“Vital to this success is the close partnership working, Hull has maintained with East Riding of Yorkshire Council throughout. Collaboratively we have secured millions of pounds of government funding and importantly gained recognition for Hull and the Humber from central Government.”
help overcome any barriers which may have prevented Siemens and potential supply chain companies from accessing the land they needed to make Green Port a reality by making sure the supply chain could co- locate.
TEAM ACTION… • Led extensive pre-application discussions leading to revisions of the submitted scheme
• Worked closely with key consultees to address their concerns, holding regular meetings with Natural England, Marine Management Organisation, English Heritage, Highways Agency and the Environment Agency
• Completed a habitats regulation assessment and detailed legal agreement to ensure regulatory requirements for the development were met
• Made site visits with members of the planning committee
• Had regular dialogue with Siemens following the submission in order for further information to be submitted and scheme detail revised
In addition, council transport officers worked in partnership with ABP/Siemens and the Highways Agency to guide and direct the Transport Assessments needed to support the preparation of various documents for planning applications and Local Development Orders (LDO).
FURTHER WORK ON THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND INWARD INVESTMENT To meet the challenge, companies who supply the wind turbine manufacturers with essential parts, components and expertise need to be located in the same area.
DREAM TEAM
Siemens has acknowledged the Council’s strong support and Matthew Chinn, Siemens’ Head of Energy (UK and North West Europe) has hailed those working behind the scenes as Hull’s 'dream team'.
The Council’s City Regeneration and Policy team headed by Mark Jones, has been crucial to securing the Green Port Hull investment.
Mark Jones said: “The Siemens investment has the potential to be the single biggest influence on Hull’s economy for generations. Once fully operational, the facility will employ 1,000 people directly on site and create thousands of support roles within new and existing supply chain businesses.”

The city has to have the infrastructure, indigenous companies and skills base to meet Siemens’ needs and ensure the investment creates local benefit to Hull. The Council committed £5m into the programme from its capital fund to enable infrastructure works such as the diversion and enhancement of the public right of way to be undertaken and has secured £25.7m of Round 2 Regional Growth Fund money towards Green Port (in partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council) and successfully secured additional financial assistance for upfront infrastructure costs for the heavy haul link road for the Paull site.
LAND, PLANNING AND TRANSPORT The Council established a group of land and property agents, developers and property owners whose remit was to identify and
Hull City Council’s City Regeneration and Policy team brought together a supply chain group, involving the Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce, University of Hull, Renewables Network, Hull Business Forum, Team Humber Marine Alliance and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The groups’ remit is to identify critical supply chain requirements for the Green Port Hull project.
